Hello, 

My name is Karen and I have chronic and genetic Melasma on my face and  I started noticing extreme acceleration of my condition after the birth of my 4th child.  Now that I am 40, I am tired of looking like I have dirt marks on my lips and hair dye stains on my face (my beautician used to scrub my face thinking she dripped solution on my cheeks-very embarrassing!!!)

I have used your TCA 21% for not only my age spots but also on a long ago Tattoo I have but no longer care to keep.  It has actually lightened the tattoo which actually might enable me to have to spend less on the final professional removal!!!  

I also am a firm believer in the skin whitening cream which smells wonderful and compliments the Glycolic acid peels I use in between TCA treatments. I work at a higher education facility and have told all the faculty and staff about how and why my face looks so fresh!!! I send the link out to your site on a regular basis!!!

Over all I am shockingly (due to being scammed before this by other products attesting to be "genuine") satisfied with your products and am so glad for once that I have not wasted my money on yet another useless product trying to battle my chronic Melasma.

 

I have enclosed a picture of the "Still Improving" me.  Thank you so much for going into business and offering such wonderfully helpful products!!!

Karen, thanks so much for sharing your photo.  You're gorgeous!!  Four children?  40 years old?  No way!! :-))))  We attribute the success of our whitening products to the alpha arbutin, which is a  wonderful active ingredient that inhibits the formation of melanin in the skin.  We're delighted the whitening cream, and our peels, are working so well for you.  Thanks again for taking time from your busy schedule to share your experiences with us, and with visitors to our website.

Hi Kathleen,

Thank you so much for your product line. My skin changed the second I put the green tea cleanser on my face. 

I have acne scars on my chin and mouth corners, scars from an auto accident on my forehead, nose and mouth and my skin is sun/wind-damaged from years of riding a motorcycle. Now that I have young children and am no longer subjecting my skin to the abuse, I have been trying to repair some of the damage. 

My goal was to have a medium peel (TCA) which I unfortunately purchased elsewhere...disappointing. I decided to buy the lactic/glycolic acid and some samples of moisturizers from you. I used your product for weeks before my tca peel. I was GLOWING! My acne scars immediately faded some and my crows feet seem to be erased, your lactic acid peel is scandalous!

My wrinkles plumped and I looked noticeably younger than 42. (I am already young looking 42 so I was pretty impressed) The scars between my eyes lightens and I am so pleased. 

I really must stress that over the years, I have used quality and high end products or tried natural products that have done absolutely nothing for me. I am really excited to have products that I can introduce to my young daughters when they hit the "trouble" skin years so they can handle teenage breakouts with less stress.

I recently started wearing make up again (after 6 years) Your pressed minerals blush and foundation blended beautiful with my skin and the brush I purchased with them is perfect for my makeup case. I was very happy with the feel and wear of fast lash and my sparse lashes looked feathery, full, and natural. Thank you for your samples and quick delivery. The SOY SERUM is so yummy, my skin drinks it up.

I can't wait to try your TCA peel in a few months. Thank you again for your outstanding products.

I purchased your AAA Skin Complex with CoQ10 & Skin Flux.  It's an excellent product!  Can I use it around my eyes?

Mary Rael
Germantown MD  (Yes!  Use this one on face, neck and chest.  It's an amazing formulation and great for the delicate eye-area.  Thanks for your note!)

I am 34 years old with sun damage.  I used an 8% TCA peel on 09/29/06.  I have attached two photos.  One is from 09/28/2006 (pre-peel) and the other is 10/15/2006 (post-peel.)

As you can see, the results are visible!  The age spot is lighter & smaller. The sagging by my nose is better, and the line by my mouth is also smaller.

I will continue to use and order your products!  I will also recommend them to people.  Thanks for everything!

I've had several photo facials at the plastic surgeon's office and the cost had become too much for me, based on the number of treatments they recommended.  

I bought your DPL system a few weeks ago and was anxious to get started.  Admittedly, I was really skeptical that a home machine could work, but my results are outstanding and I'm thrilled with what I'm seeing in the mirror.  

I've used it twice a day, faithfully, for the 9 minutes recommended.  Almost immediately, I noticed that my skin was more moist.  I'm in my late 50s and have a lot of blotchiness.  My skin tone has improved tremendously and there's a firmness I hadn't seen with other skin care.  

Like many women my age, I had considered a face lift, but I think I can delay it based on the results I'm getting with your photo rejuvenation system.  I wish to offer you my sincere thanks for offering an affordable product that actually works.

Aurora CO  (I'm seeing similar results, Marie.  This technology works beautifully when used as directed.  Kathleen)

I have had acne scars for the last 7 years and have spent over $10,000 dollars on laser surgery, dermabrassions and chemical peels. Some of the procedures I tried even made my scars worse. I have Crohns disease and had to quit my job as a paralegal and don't have the money to pay all doctors and spas I use to go to. The last doctor I saw offered the TCA peel but it was $700 dollars. Since I couldn't afford that I thought I would see if I could find it on the internet. I found your website but hesitated buying the TCA peel since I've already bought every product under the sun that promised to get rid my scars. I've been using the TCA peel over the last couple of months and love what I'm seeing in the mirror. I know it won't get rid of my scars completely, but the small improvements I've been seeing sometimes reduce me to tears because I'm so happy. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating a quality product that is affordable. My friends and relatives have been giving me compliments and it feels great. I've been telling everyone I know about your website. Thank you so much.

Kathleen,

I just want to take a few minutes to say THANK YOU !!  

When I was a teenager I was cursed with really bad acne, and it left very bad, deep ice-pick scars across my entire face.  I have been to several Dr's and have tried micro-dermabrassion, and even the micro-laser peel, which made little difference and cost me a small fortune. 

I'm 36 yrs old now and thought I was gonna have to spend the rest of my life ugly and scarred.  A few months ago I was surfing the Internet and came across your site.  I looked at the prices and thought they were extremely reasonable compared to the Dr visits -  $250 for the micro-derm and $800 for the micro-laser.  I ordered a series of the TCA peels 12% 15% 18% and 21% and also the super copper peptide serum. 

I have used both the 12% and 15% and can tell a big difference, the people at work keep asking me what am I'm doing differently and how good I look !!  

It has helped improve my self confidence and for the first time in years I don't feel like people are staring at my scars.   I still have a long way to go but I feel like when I work my way up to and do a few 21% peels, I will be where I want to be.  My only regret is I forgot to take before photos.  With all that being said, I want to send you a genuine heart felt Thank You.  You have honestly changed my life !!!

Just thought I would send a little e-mail to let you know.....I AM SOOOOOOOOO PLEASED with the results so far with your 18% TCA.  I have used the TCA Peel on my forhead...upper lip....and a little on crow's feet. This product truly works...and I would recommend to anyone that is thinking of having laser etc...this works just as well...and I am glad I cancelled my laser appt. and saved $$$. 

I am a flight attendant for Jet Blue Airways....and will definitely pass this site on to my fellow crewmembers!
You guys ROCK!

Thanks for offering a photo rejuvenation unit.  I'm not a novice, having had many treatments at my dermatologist's office.  Because I travel a lot, your unit has been a God-send for me, not to mention the savings.  I had been paying $350/treatment, so this product is saving me a lot of money.  

Bonnie Traverse
New Hope, PA
Thanks, Bonnie.  While not for everyone, this is a great way to keep the skin looking younger and helps your skin care products to penetrate the skin more deeply.

Advanced Eye Repair

This is the best eye cream I have ever used.  After only 7 days, I feel I've taken 10 years off the aging skin around my eyes.  I'm of Italian descent, plagued with dark circles my entire adult life.  They are much improved.  I feel much more confident about my appearance.  I'm thrilled! 
Thanks for an awesome product.

Our Bio Peptide Concentrate w/Matrixyl and Revitalin BT

My skin seems to have improved in ONLY TWO DAYS--not only the texture, but also the firmness.  Thank you for the opportunity to sample before purchasing the full-sized product.  

Carole Weller

(We're receiving many testimonials regarding the great results of this product.  The clinical studies are very impressive.  And, yes, this product does provide visible results quickly.  Our formulation will improve natural collagen production, improve skin firmness, and provide a reduction in wrinkles as the collagen continues to rebuild and "fill in" lines/wrinkles.  Use twice daily, after cleansing.)

Your products have really improved my skin.  (Ellen is using our lactic acid and Bio Peptide Concentrate.)

I've used the lactic acid several times now; my face is better than it's ever been!!  Break outs seem to be a thing of the past, and my skin has a glow that I've longed for.

In a few more weeks my complexion will be perfectly clear. Thank you.

Jacqueline Thompson

I purchased your IPL the day I received your newsletter announcing it as a new item.  I have been using it nearly every day for six weeks and the results are becoming very visible.  I am 62 and was a smoker for years.  My upper lip area is beginning to look much smoother and the lines between my eyebrows are much softer.  My next goal is to concentrate the light on the lines that run from my nose to the corners of my mouth.  I like the fact that it runs on batteries.  I use it when I'm watching t.v. at night.  

At your suggestion, I took digital photos before I began using the light.  I took more photos this week for comparison.  The results are very noticeable.  I feel I look much younger than my years and hope this product will continue to fight the aging process.  

Thanks for your great products,
Elaine Cutler

I *love* your glycolic peels!  I'm up to 50%, and the results are fabulous!  Thanks so much for offering sample sizes, too.  I was able to find the perfect mineral powder shade from the sample kit.

Really having success with 40% Lactic Acid peel. Health insurance covers laser for Rosacea, but only in certain areas which left my upper lip area looking more wrinkled and dry in comparison to areas treated by dermatologist.  Thanks to your 40% Lactic Acid Peel, my upper lip area is catching up and even feels smooth to the touch!  P.S.  Thanks for the super fast service even at the lowest shipping method.  When your package arrived, it felt like Christmas!

Normally I do not take the time to write these types of letters, but I wanted to take a moment to compliment you on your customer service.  You have one of the most responsive, efficient customer service departments I have had the pleasure to do business with in a long time.  Salute to a dying American tradition where each customer does matter.

Thank you SO MUCH!!!  I was DESPERATE for makeup (no more powder, wedding this weekend) AND YOU GUYS WERE SO FAST!!!!!!!

Many thanks. And thank you for including something extra. I look forward to using the body wash.

Again, thank you for the ABOVE EXCELLENT customer service.

All the best,

I got a sample of the Syn Coll and I love it !  I noticed the change after a couple days of use -- I am 49, Irish and my skin is in good shape from taking care of it.  But this lotion is the piece de la resistance!  The microdermabrasion cream leaves my skin so soft and smooth.  Thank you for making such great products!  I have been purchasing your products for about 6 years now.

Moira Powers

Loved the 18% TCA Peel.  Amazing results.  Looking forward to trying the products ordered since having such great results with the peel.  So happy to have discovered your website.  Telling all of my friends about your amazing peels.  Looking forward to having great results with the makeup sampler and brow tint samplers.

Velvet Veil is an awesome product.  My makeup has never gone on so smoothly.  It makes my face feel so soft.  I have also been using the TCA peels.  They are awesome.  The cyst-like acne on my chin has been cleared up immensely.

I love your products.  They have helped my cystic acne disappear.  (Nicole uses our TCA peels, pro enzyme peel, lactic acid and tea tree oil).

Wow!  

Thank-you so much! I recently ordered your Advanced Eye Repair cream...what a dream! I use it daily along with my cleansing routine...it's been only a few days and can tell that the texture of the skin around my eyes is changing and there's sooo much of it...it's going to last quite a long time...Pssst! I use it on my boyfriend's eyes and surrounding skin, too...he says and I quote "It's quite refreshing". The scent is wonderful too.

I am 40 years old and have had adult acne for ten years now.  Countless doctor visits did me no good.  Then I found Makeup Artist's Choice.  I have been using your 40% lactic peel for a few months and my skin has never been better.  I am acne free and my self confident has returned.  

Thank you for your great products and customer service.  I am ready to move on and try new products.

Thanks again,

Hi,

My name is Jamie Horvitz...I happened to stumble across your website trying to get some information about TCA peels...I have done about 4-5 TCA peels over the last few years in my plastic surgeons office where I was charged 200.00 per visit...I was in and out of the office in approx. 10 min. and I thought this is crazy to pay that amount for something that seems like i am able to do at home...I recently ordered the 15% TCA from your company followed the directions and am so pleased that I have done the same thing in my home and still have a full bottle of TCA for future use and the cost was a fraction of what i have been paying not to mention that I have the control to layer the TCA where I want a deeper peel and i can see exactly where it is being applied....Thanks so much for making this accessible to someone like me who is capable of doing this peel at home with no problem...

Sincerely,  
Jamie

I ran out of SynColl and started to use my old standby----I can really tell the difference.  I have had great results with your products and will be throwing our the ole' Ponds!!

Kim Shutty

I am 51 and so happy I found you online!!!   

I have always said that Makeup is a farce for if your skin is bad nothing can help it... I still say that....skincare comes first...and your company helps to make an "illusion" true....   

I live in California...and you know how hard it is to live out here and not look good!!!  However I hate giving money to people who had no idea what they are doing...have been giving myself glycolic acid peels for years now...however..I felt my  skin needed something stronger now ...   

I ordered the 12% TCA...was soooo scared the first time to give it to myself...that I just did it on my chest, between my eyes and my marionette lines.  One week later I did the whole treatment (face)..and a week later did it again however with a  second layer... I am so Verrrrryyyyyy pleased with the results..

I am a producer...and work with my son...my appearance is just as important as my work..."first impressions"!!!!.... Well, I will forever be a devotee....and an customer... When they ask me if I am my sons' "sister"...well, we know what and who deserves the credit for that!!!!! YOU!!!!!   

Keep all those fantastic products coming!!!!   

THANKS!!

OMG!!! For those of us who have been insecure because we have terrible skin, this is the site for us!  I cannot tell you how pleased I was when I received my products (I ordered the 30% glycolic peel to prep my skin for the TCA I'm getting ready to do soon.)  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!  I had truly hit the bottom of the barrel about how I felt about my skin, and just the short time I have been using my products, I cannot express how I feel about myself now!  This has truly been a life changing experience.

Hello Kathleen,

I've been using your French Green Clay Mask for about 2 months and feel it's an exceptional product.  I would like to request that you offer it in larger sizes.  I'm using it on my face, neck, upper arms and thighs.  Years ago, I had a full body wrap with this type of clay and loved the results.  I'm experiencing similar results at home with your product but have to order several jars to do a body treatment.  Also, I've just ordered a sample of your Idebenone.  If it's as good as your other products, I'm sure I'll be purchasing a full size.  Thank you for offering spa quality products for use at home.

Doris Pennington
Redwood CA    Thanks for the feedback Doris.  We'll definitely work on offering a larger size of the French Green Clay for full body wraps, along with the wrapping materials.  

Hi Kathie,

I'm continuing to use your Botox Alternative Cream (which I love) for lifting effects on my face and jowl area.    

THANK YOU for offering these products in sample sizes.  I don't think I would have spent the money on full sizes without having sampled them first.

Hi Kathie,

Just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how the 12.5% tca peel went. 

I am done peeling from my second application, spaced 3 weeks apart from the first.  I cannot believe the difference in my skin - I can't stop looking in the mirror to see if it is really real.  My red marks are noticeably diminished, and my skin is very smooth, and my pores are smaller.  I had 6 sessions of microdermabrasion (cost = $450.00), and I must say, the results of the two application tca peel are very similiar. THANK YOU for making this product available!

Thanks a bunch!
Kim in Michigan

I've been using your TCA peel for about a month and can see a tremendous improvement in the texture and appearance of my skin.  Look closely at the pictures.  Look at the forehead.  Before, you can see wrinkles behind the bangs.  After the peel, no wrinkles.   Before the skin was multi-toned and rough.  After, the skin is smooth and all one tone. One more thing, look closely at the left side of my face.  Before you can see the wrinkle/fold going down from my nose to my mouth.  After, that fold has totally diminished.  The only wrinkle I'm still working on is the one on the right side.   Sincerely, Melanie Alaska    Melanie!  Beautiful results!  Thanks so much for sharing !!   Kathleen xoxoxo

Kathie, 

I just had to let you know I used the glycolic acid peel first (30%) and then used the TCA peel soon after.  My face peeled after some days, I did not think it was working) and it has just finished peeling (took total of about 9 days) and my face is so clear and soft.  I was skeptical at first, but let me tell you, I never looked so good. I am 58 with some wrinkles around my eyes and left cheek ( I guess from sleeping on that side mostly) and though not completely gone, much less and some brown spots that I had on side of face near hairline are almost gone.  I love this stuff and will never stop using it.  Thank you so much.

I can't imagine being without your products now!  I'm going to show my daughters how they work this weekend.  I'm sure they will be as pleased with the results as I have been.  Thanks so much for making them available to us.

I ordered the sample pack of your mineral makeup and CAN'T WAIT to get my regular size order!  I have some red marks leftover from recent acne and this makeup has the best coverage I have found without being cakey.  My skin looks luminous and beautiful.  Thanks you!  By the way, I have only been using the Copper Peptide Serum for about a week and can already tell that is' fading my red marks.  I am so excited I found your site.  Thanks again!

Greetings Kathie and Makeup Artist Choice Team,

I wanted to share my first TCA 8% peel experience with you.  To follow your suggestion of using a glycolic acid or lactic acid pre peel for a more productive peel, I started with a lactic acid peel (55%) on Friday.  Then Saturday, I did a patch test. The following Tuesday, I used the TCA peel.  Being my first time with the TCA peel, I didn’t want to use the lactic acid and TCA back to back.  I guess I was a little nervous. Upon application of the TCA peel, I was confused because it seemed to evaporate or soak into the skin, unlike the lactic or glycolic, which was stickier.  But nonetheless, I waited till my 5-minute timer went off.  I didn’t notice much peeling until Thursday, then a lot of peeling from Friday thru Sunday.  The next Tuesday (a week later), the peeling is almost done.  My skin is absolutely FABULOUS.  I haven’t had such a great complexion in years.  I hope my testimony helps others who may feel a little apprehensive about such a peel.  It’s way worth it.  Thank you again, Kathie, for offering such high quality products. 

A frequent customer for life,

I have spent a small fortune on products, spa treatments and doctors office procedures to keep melasma under control.  I was running out of money and truly depressed with the prospect of "living with it" until I found your web site at 3:00 a.m. one night looking for a site that would sell me lactic acid at doctors strength. I was thrilled to find you out in cyber land!   It means more than I can say to have control of this condition using lactic acid peels, and to be enjoying beautiful skin using smart products that really work. Your web site and great advice are lifesavers for me.  I'm 45 and folks often assume I'm in my 30's.  Thank you sooo much.  -

Diana K., Columbus, Ohio  Diana, there is *no way* you are 45!  Thank you for sharing your experiences with our products and customer service !!
